Thanks Bullitt

I just wanted to thank Bullitt and all the other wildland fire fighters.

3 Killed Fighting Wildfires Across State

I know it's a tough job, and dangerous.

Yes Bullitt, I echo HLJ's sentiment. Bravo, brave man!

Thanks everybody, it's nice to have recognition for what you do.. shame about those three killed down there.. They say it's going to be a rough season.. especially down south/southwest.

We've been doing some controlled burns up here. Wildfire prevention kind of stuff. (This is the company I work for.)
Here's a few pics from that:



One of our two type VI wildland engines. They're based on an F-550.


My rig complete with 30 gallon water tank and pump, drip torch, and my trusty shovel


To give you a sense of scale, you can see the type VI engine on the far right side if you look close.


One of the draws afterwards.. Nuked it!!
